Cherish the Obvious

I have watched with fear and joy the development of my boys and their relationship with my wife, Darci. Darci has been a solid stepmother (a term I hate)for more than three quarters of their lives. She has accepted her role (term) with love and compassion for these two young men. She has endured their aloofness, shyness and quietness. We have together built, for the boys, a safe and loving home, a family for the four of us. Billy and Matt have spent less than ten (10%) percent of their lives involved in our lives but we treasure every morsel of their involvement. We wring out every last moment to cherish forever. We know we are having a wonderful impact on them but at times we often wonder if we are getting through to them. "The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible." - Oscar Wilde
